Food for Thought Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Quest
Group: Side Quests
Start location: Neketaka
The Gullet is home to the Roparu in Neketaka, the lowest caste in Huana society. By Huana tradition, food is distributed from the highest caste to the lowest, as the queen sees fit.
This uneven distribution of resources, coupled with an influx of refugees from other islands in the Deadfire, is starving the Roparu to death.
Enoi, an elder in the Gullet, has asked me to help him resolve the food shortage.

Quest stages of Food for Thought
1. Establish a source of food for the Gullet.
Enoi asked me to help re-establish a source of food for the Roparu. Perhaps I could ask Prince Aruihi in Kahanga Palace or the Dawnstars at the Sacred Stair to help. Or, I could find a way to speak with Mad Morena, Ulög's contact among the Príncipi in the Undercroft.
Updates:
The Children of the Dawnstars are known for their charitable work throughout the city. A missionary by the name of Pitli has a dwelling in the southwestern part of the Gullet.
Pitli explained that her high priestess, Saewyn, at the Temple of Gaun in the Sacred Stair, holds the authority to ration a share of the Dawnstars' food supply. However, Pitli is preoccupied with her own work and hasn't yet spoken to Saewyn about the shortage.
Saewyn at the Temple of Gaun will supply food to the Roparu so long as she has a means to disperse the rations throughout the Gullet.
Captain Mad Morena refuses to smuggle more food for the Roparu. I might be able to change her mind if I make it worth her while.
Though displeased with how the Mataru have handled the situation in the Gullet, Prince Aruihi won't listen to a foreigner who hasn't gained his trust.
Saewyn doesn't trust me. She suggested she'd be more inclined to offer her support if I proved my goodwill toward the Children of the Dawnstars.
I've convinced High Priestess Saewyn at the Temple of Gaun to work with the Príncipi in the Undercroft to smuggle food into the Gullet.
According to Enoi, the Children of the Dawnstars have tried to supply food to the Gullet before, but were unsuccessful. They might be willing to try again. They congregate at the Temple of Gaun in the Sacred Stair.
I encountered some thugs guarding a lift in Delver's Row. It might be the route Ulög used to ferry food to the Roparu in the Gullet.
The thugs told me that only Dereo can grant permission to use the Delver's Row lift. I can find Dereo by turning right, then left after exiting Delver's Row.
I offered to speak with Prince Aruihi in Kahanga Palace on behalf of the Roparu, but Enoi doubts it will make a difference.
Now that the Royal Deadfire Company has launched their attack on Kahanga Palace, I can no longer go to Prince Aruihi for aid. Perhaps I can convince Mad Morena in the Undercroft to help the Roparu.
2. Inform Enoi about the deal.
I brokered a deal that will ensure the Roparu in the Gullet will be fed for some time.
3. Other updates
I found a note addressed to a Captain Mad Morena that claimed, due to increased patrols, Akumu needed to use an outcrop near the prize-share to drop off the smuggled shipment. I should investigate the food pile.
There was a commotion outside of Enoi's dwelling about a body found near the prize-share pile to the northwest.
4. Endings
I alienated everyone capable of helping the Roparu resolve their food shortage.
I convinced the Príncipi in the Undercroft to re-establish their arrangement to smuggle food to the Roparu in the Gullet.
I convinced Queen Onezaka at Kahanga Palace to double her efforts to feed the starving Roparu.
I brokered a deal with High Priestess Saewyn of the Dawnstars to provide additional food to Neketaka, and Queen Onezaka at Kahanga Palace has agreed that the majority will be given to the Roparu.
I brokered a deal Mad Morena, the Príncipi captain in the Undercroft, to smuggle food into the Gullet so long as the Children of the Dawnstars at the Temple of Gaun supply them with it.
